Any sort of hourly pass to just go eat in the parks?

[disneyofcourse]

I'm trying to figure out if Disney offers anything that would let my family go into the park for about an hour to eat. They won't be able to make it to all the parks to visit the attractions (Not enough time with the way they vacation). However, we would like to eat at specific counter service places at the two parks we will not be spending a day in. I just don't want to foot the bill for 5 people and pay for park admission for an extra day.

No, you must have a valid theme park admission ticket to dine in the parks, which is full price/full day. Depending on the current length of your ticket though, adding a day may cost as little as $5.50.

There is (was?) a special FL resident pass for late day dining at Epcot I believe, but that wouldn't apply to you, I assume.

No

If you only plan on going to that park that day you could add an extra day to your passes. On a 4 day MYW ticket its only $8, used to be around $5 but the price just went up, to add a day.

If you have already been to one park and want to eat at another you would need the Park Hopper option. Also if you want to park hop you must have the PH option, you can't use an "extra" day.

There's no such thing. You must have valid full-day park admission to enter a Disney theme park for any reason.

The only partial-day admission I can think of is sold only to convention attendees. I'm not even sure if they still do the after-4 at Epcot for Florida residents.

With four trips within 12 months according to your signature, you need to get everyone an AP. Then you can park hop to your heart's content.

I agree with this statement - with the DVC Annual Pass discount, it's a very good option for you to consider.

It's pretty amazing that reading the original poster's signature gave a whole new perspective about tickets! I completely agree that the annual pass with DVC discount is the way to go when they're taking that many trips in a 12 month period.
